I.
fingers are ready
for numerous unwrappings
disposed colour clumps
---
II.
blink-and-miss applause
******* snap jokes tumble out
steam quivers on up
---
III.
everything exposed
fairy lights still flickering
night unrolls black tongue
fingers are ready
for numerous unwrappings
disposed colour clumps

II.
blink-and-miss applause

everything exposed
fairy lights still flickering
night unrolls black tongue
Written: December 2018.
Explanation: A set of three haikus relating to the Christmas period - not meant to be taken seriously, and a deviation from my normal style of work. This follows a similar set of (fairly samey) haikus written over the past few years - 'Yuletide Trilogy' (2012), 'Stocking Fillers' (2013), 'Christmas Triptych' (2014), ‘Festive Trio’ (2015), ‘Pulling Crackers’ (2016), and Joyeux Noël (2017). The title is Spanish for 'Merry Christmas.' All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
